once we could say or
write what we wanted,
as long as it violated
not the rights of others;
once we were united
as one group of souls
without prjudice or
hatred of color or
one's religious beliefs;
once we were able to
travel about without
any restrictions to
locations of our choice;
once we could enjoy a
meal at a restaurant
or go for a walk in a
wooded environment
or dress as we pleased;
but then... there were
those who did not
appreciate our freedoms
and set about to remove
them one by one and
as children of non violence
we let them have their way;
now we seek to leave this
place where freedoms are
no longer welcomed,
appreciated or guaranteed
by this new majority.
